I have had migraines for 40 years (55 years old). I have tried prescription preventive medicine which did not help. This is the first thing that has REALLY helped. I have only been on it for about 5 weeks and I have only had one migraine--usually in this time period I would have 5+.

Butterbur 75mg 2 x a day has decreased the frequency of migraine headaches. However, I have noticed when I take it, I have a little trouble breathing. Like I can't catch my brh. I would be interested to know if anyone else has had this side effect.
